I think Sears/Craftsman pliers continue to represent a great value in domestic made hand tools. I recently added a bunch to my 15+ year old inventory (that have all held up very well). As with my others, this has great fit and finish...the simple black dipped handles feel no different than my old ones that have held up very well. The joint is tight with no slop, but moves easy. The jaws line up pretty well - the wire cutter is nice and tight, but I wish the tips had a little tighter fit...they are close, but are not going to work like tweezers (the 6" set I bought are tight at the tip). One tip is a little thin were they grind to size, I hope it doesn't bend on me. It appears they are applying a clear coat finish to them as well, perhaps to reduce rusting on the ground faces? A nice touch that my older pliers don't have, but I'm indifferent on its need. Given that it was on sale for less than the 6" model, I gave it 5 stars. Still USA made with a WF marking.

I have used this already on several jobs. It doesn't wiggle like some cheaper ones do. Grip seems to be impenetrable, I have accidentally dropped it from 20 feet, a light scratch was all that happened. I recommend lightly oiling it with ATF or something to keep the joint from getting stuck.
